Finally added Theodore Sodcutter to my collection and put him right to work taking care of the graveyard. He’ll be looking after the 999 happy haunts, though there is room for one more… any volunteers?

I love this collection so very very much.

Noms. Noms never changes.

It’s been a bit since I checked in on Vampire Survivors. Glad to see there are some new unlocks to chase. Such splendid chaos.

Made Mickey Waffles today to celebrate Stacey’s return to Disney World.

23-ish years later, I finally rolled credits on Metroid Prime thanks to the Switch Remaster. Bought it at launch on GameCube in 2002, bounced off it more than once (including the Trilogy in 2009), but this time it clicked. First game finished in 2026. Feels good to finally put this adventure to rest

Thanks to @mrdadventuretime.bsky.social for the nudge on Gamehub Lite. I’m now able to play more of my favorites on my Retroid Pocket 5 - namely Jet Set Radio(HD version) and Stealth Inc. Stealth Inc (aka Stealth Bastard) is an absolute hidden gem of a puzzle platformer. Highly recommend

Hit all the favorite spots at American Dream this morning before the place turned into an absolute zoo.

I absolutely loved Construx & Capsela. I still find remnants of them in random bins I’ve held on to, along with Robotix parts. I remember building an epic vehicle with my younger brother that used nearly every Constux part we had. That thing withstood being dismantled for what felt like eons

When I made the resolution to curb my spending in 2026 I didn’t expect the universe to immediately start testing me on day 1.

Going to bed. Happy New year everyone. See ya next year.

I think that’s a good match to go out on for the year.

Na na na na na na na na Katamari Damacy!

I don’t buy much new music during the year. Instead, I wait for Tim to drop his list and then I scoop them all up.

Had to send one of the Joycons from my Switch 2 to Nintendo for repair. The ZL trigger on the left JoyCon registered input inconsistently. Although the trigger would “click,” it did not reliably register a press unless significant force was applied. Hoping Big N can get me sorted out.

Huge thanks to @timpopkid.ibuywaytoomanyrecords.com for the awesome birthday gift. I played the hell out of this one as a kid. While I was more partial to skateboarding in real life, the surfing was the better game. So cool to have this in my hands again. I can't stop looking at it. Thanks again.

I'm really enjoying Metroid Prime Remastered, but sometimes when I open the map, see where I need to go, and realize how much backtracking is involved, I just shut the game off. I know it’s part of the design, but man, it can feel tedious. Maybe I’m just getting too old for this 😅

I don’t understand Fortnite sidekicks at all. You offer me Groot, though? Yeah. I’m getting a Groot.

I still have my star wars clock!

Ughhhhh..... Guess this means I'll be taking a break from this game for a bit.

Just reached the Phazon Mines in Metroid Prime Remastered. This was the furthest I made it on the Gamecube before I stopped playing. Hoping to keep pushing through this time to finally see this game to the end.

Nintendo never forgets. Thanks!

My birthday is this Saturday. Just saying propstoreauction.com/lot-details/...

This is a real long shot, but is there anyone out there that can get me a high res scan of the back of a Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cake box that has the gift tags on the back?

I’m playing Metroid Prime Remastered on normal difficulty, which honestly hasn’t been much of a challenge so far. Well, my cockiness caught up with me and I just lost an hour of progress to a horde of flying Space Pirates. Going to need a break before I have the oomph to redo all that again.

Sunday Morning retro game of the day: Jaws on the NES. I absolutely loved this game and must have played through it a thousand times as a kid. Well, make that a thousand and one now. Played on my RG34xx SP

While cleaning up and rearranging some figures in the basement my ThreeZero Legion figure fell over and knocked a Mordin statue off the shelf. I did my best to repair the damage, but Mordin gained a few scars from the fall. Legion is thankfully ok, and very sorry for the incident.

Still having a good go with Metroid Prime Remastered. The hooks are in & I may actually see it to the end (3rd times a charm). I love scouring the map for clues on where to go next while hunting hidden power-ups. Despite Tallon IV’s hostile inhabitants, the game has a surprisingly chill vibe.

Tonight, we do a status check on the basement cleanup: www.youtube.com/live/eCYUkbL... 7:30 PM ET with @timpopkid.ibuywaytoomanyrecords.com

Ok, Metroid Prime is starting to hook me. Initially I was a bit frustrated wandering aimlessly shooting random creatures but then it kinda clicked with me that it was exactly what I did in Metroid way back when on the NES. Think I’ll keep at it to see where things go.

Thanks to a random Best Buy reward I’ve secured another Metroid Prime Amiibo. 2 down, one to go.

I’ve been working on a purge of my collection. It’s taken a lot of effort but has been very cathartic. Planning to chat more about it with @timpopkid.ibuywaytoomanyrecords.com tomorrow on the next episode of Perfectly Excellent. Details soon.

I’m eager to add these Metroid Amiibo to the collection, but I’m not paying full price for them anymore. Been burned too many times now. No sir, no thank you.

So good I can almost smell the bubble gum.

I should really try and finish a Metroid Prime game. As much as I love 2D Metroid, I’ve never been able to get any of the Prime games to the finish line.

Make that 7pm ET! We’re getting a jump on things earlier tonight.

I'll be talking ultimate grails tonight with @timpopkid.ibuywaytoomanyrecords.com on Perfectly Excellent. 7:30pm ET. What is your number one wishlist item?

Damnit. How many Cut Mans do I need?!? Pretty sure I have three already. Looks like I’ll be making it four now.

Had to take it apart a second time and re-check all the connections, but looks like my Retroid Pocket 5 is back in business. Now for some GBA goodness.

Behold the spiciest of pillows.

This is a bit more disassembling than I would have liked.

Time to replace the spicy pillow in my Retroid Pocket 5. Attempt to replace, that is

Thanks to my nephew, I got some quality hands on time with the Switch 2. My old eyes appreciated the larger display, the UX and shop felt super snappy and Mario Kart looked and played great. I would absolutely need a grip case for it as the device feels incredibly thin and flat in my hands.

Sleep is overrated anyhow.

I don’t think a day goes by that I’m not singing this in my head.

Going live for a legions con roundtable recap in 30. www.youtube.com/live/lcnLeI_...

Oh how I love these games!

Huzzah!

Am I late to Legions Con?

Oh damnnnn.
